Hey Coast, was there Friday evening and left sunday afternoon. Weather throughout wasn't great for balloons, but there were small windows where we could tether,glow & hop across the airfield. Have posted a few photos on the other thread, Attached a few here too Glad you enjoyed the Air Show, i thought it was well attended due to weather and plenty of other things happening!

We managed to tether on the Saturday evening around 6:30pm when the wind started to drop and had a nightglow on Saturday evening. Sunday morning was flyable although mist meant balloons didnt leave the airfield, though some tethered and hopped in the fog and mist!

UK Weather Forecasts who are an independent forecasting group, have issued a winter forecast. I have to say i find them far from the mark on many occasions, time will tell! http://goo.gl/tV1ZCl -
Thanks for the updates John! I'm off to Maidstone tomorrow staying at the event organiser( my mate) for the Balloon side of the Southern Airshow 2013 at Headcorn Aerodrome. We are hoping to go ballooning tomorrow afternoon before the rain and again on Sat late afternoon, Sunday morning looks the best before the rain and wind sweeps in! Might see some of you there?

First snow Of The season In Caingorms
Mark Neal. replied to boywonder's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
First sign of quite cooler and unsettled weather and one media source had to go and report snow.. Yes a chance of wintry over the high ground next week, though briefly andnothing substantial. Scaremongering, i thought the daily express would be first one to do it this winter, plenty of time yet!! -
Autumn 2013: thoughts, prospects and forecasts.
Mark Neal. replied to Weather-history's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Had a cycle earlier around Shotover Country Park, a telling sign Autumn is here. The leaves have begun to change and the fields have that decomposing smell, the crops look good though. Its been a good summer. Autumn gale force winds and deep lows on the way! Atlantic coming back to live? -
YOUR FAVOURITE ARCHIVED SYNOPTIC CHART
Mark Neal. replied to Tom Montalbano's topic in Historic Weather
Yes it was.. We had a forecast the night before saying it would brush past us, we would perhaps get some light snow. But last minute gave us a big surprise watching the radar was fun at 9am.! Does anyone know a site which has archived radar images from certain events, if thats even avaliable? -

YOUR FAVOURITE ARCHIVED SYNOPTIC CHART
Mark Neal. replied to Tom Montalbano's topic in Historic Weather
Probaby my second best snow event! Had the weather front moving up from the South, It stalled over our area and pivoting, it gave us a good 6hrs of moderate snow, with a good hour 1/2 of intense and heavy snow. -

YOUR FAVOURITE ARCHIVED SYNOPTIC CHART
Mark Neal. replied to Tom Montalbano's topic in Historic Weather
This chart gave us 10cm snow overnight as temperatures dropped away. Unseasonable snowfall for April and the latest i have seen snow in the season in my life. The snow had all melted by 4pm the same day as temperatures got upto 11c in the clear skies behind the front. We had about 5 days off from January 6th in 2010, mainly due to 30cm on the ground, but this was after having the 2 week xmas break! -

Winter 2013/2014 Forecasts/Hopes/Discussion Thread
Mark Neal. replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Yes but when we see a deep depression (low pressure) over our shores in Autumn time for example, it won't be known as a hurricane. However we sometimes get the words like, hurricane force winds? but not officially a hurricane? I'm only going on what i have heard from senior posters on here and like you said would rather take there word for it than wiki! Usually described as a Ex tropical storm when they get here or just remnants causing a low pressure to move through. -

Mark Neal. replied to stewfox's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Not just yet. Definitely cooler days and cold nights are turning in, but the sun warms my bedroom up as it heads around into the afternoon. Prob another few weeks, unless we see it very chilly in the mornings!
